Baked Spiced Apples

I make this all year, but it’s really a fall dish. Spiced Baked Apples. So simple, and so versatile. It’s only 4 or 5 ingredients, and can be served with something savory or as a dessert. It’s also really easy to make. Let me get down to it.

Supplies:

4-5 Apples, peeled, cored and sliced

4-5 Tablespoons of Sugar

1 Tablespoon of Pumpkin Pie Spice

1 Pinch of Salt

1 Tablespoon of Coconut Oil or Clarified Butter

First, preheat oven to 350 degrees F

Then, peel the apples, cut out the core and slice them into eighths.

In a bowl, combine sugar, pumpkin spice and salt. Once mixed, add coconut oil. It’s easier if you melt the coconut oil in advance, which I didn’t do.

Toss in apples and mix thoroughly until they’re entirely coated.

Pour into baking dish and spread evenly. Add a couple tablespoons of water.

After 25 minutes, pull them out and mix them up before placing them back in the oven for another 15 minutes.

The Optional Extra is to sprinkle in a teaspoon of gelatin and mix in the hot apples. It’ll make the whole thing gooey, but also makes cleanup for difficult.

Now that you’ve got the finished product, it’s time to decide how to serve it. My two favorite ways are with Parmigianno Regianno, or with vanilla ice cream.
